A crowded hall of devotees gathers around a temple-style stage decorated with several ornate deity shrines in gold and garland-draped colours, with projection screens showing similar imagery. A man in a red-and-gold turban and green-and-maroon dhoti-style garment, with gold bangles and a beaded necklace, extends his hand toward a worshipper while a shaved-headed attendant in white dhoti with gold border carries a tray of offerings. Another man in an orange shawl stands nearby. Many people in saris, white ritual clothes and casual wear crowd the foreground, with a small child in pink in the lower right.
